Good morning Alex,
Thank you for your call this morning. To summarize some basic informaƟon about the MacArthur Park Local Ordinance
District and the LiƩle Rock Historic District Commission:
The property at 610 E 6th is within the MacArthur Park Local Ordinance Historic District. The goal of the local ordinance
historic district is to protect and preserve the unique and valued qualiƟes of such an area, its urban design, architectural
character, and historic materials in buildings and in landscapes. A property owner in this district is subject to the rules
and regulaƟons as set forth by the City of LiƩle Rock ordinances, Municipal Code Chapter 23, Sec. 76-160, that is based
on Arkansas State law. Any exterior renovaƟon of structures, addiƟons, fencing, or other site features need to be either
administraƟvely approved by staff or reviewed by the LiƩle Rock Historic District Commission at their regularly monthly
public meeƟngs.
Ou records indicate that a new signage was erected without a CerƟficate of Appropriateness (COA) and in violaƟon of
Sec. 26-115 of the LiƩle Rock Code of Ordinances, as well as without a sign permit. To bring the property in compliance
with state law, obtain a COA from the LiƩle Rock Historic District Commission by filing an applicaƟon and fulfilling all
requirements thereof. An applicaƟon is aƩached here for your convenience. The new signage can be administra Ɵvely
reviewed. Please complete Page 4 of the applicaƟon and provide a current photo of the new sign as well as any
documentaƟon idenƟfying sign locaƟon, dimensions, and materials (typically provided by the sign company you worked
with). AddiƟonally, I misspoke over the phone, since you are currently not the property owner, you will need to provide
a notarized statement from the property owner to pursue a COA. You may use Page 6 of the applica Ɵon for this purpose.
